Kawagoe Daiichi Hotel
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.87 out of 5 (1,707 reviews). Families report that the staff were courteous and made their stay pleasant, and that the Japanese set breakfast was tasty, with refills of rice and miso soup available. Some families rate the location and breakfast highly and report having had no particular complaints. Others report that the room lighting felt dim and that the pillows were too firm to sleep on comfortably, which is worth knowing in advance.
Overview
Kawagoe Daiichi Hotel is a 154-room business hotel a 3-minute walk from the East Exit of Kawagoe Station. Rooms come in three types: single, double / DX single, and twin, and some double and twin plans have a child rate. Staying with children requires a phone inquiry in advance depending on the room, and humidifiers are available to borrow. The front desk is staffed 24 hours, and the location close to the station suits both business trips and sightseeing.
Rooms
Guest rooms come in three types: single, double / DX single, and twin. The 142 single rooms measure 12 square meters and have one semi-double bed (197 cm x 123 cm). The 10 double / DX single rooms measure 15 square meters and have one double bed (197 cm x 140 cm). The twin rooms measure 24 square meters and have two single beds, but there are only 2 of them and they can be booked by phone only. There are no Japanese-style tatami rooms; every room is Western-style. All rooms have internet access (wired LAN and Wi-Fi), a washlet toilet and a refrigerator.
Family-Friendly Features
Several rooms and plans, including singles and doubles, carry the note "Please contact us by phone if you are bringing children," so staying with children requires a phone inquiry in advance. On the other hand, a child rate is set for two plans: the 12-square-meter non-smoking double room renovated in April 2026 (one double bed), and the 15-square-meter non-smoking twin room without a bath or toilet (two single beds). These are renovated rooms, separate from the double / DX single and regular twin rooms described above. Among the in-room amenities, humidifiers are available to borrow. Checkout is at 10 a.m., and if you use the room beyond that time, an additional charge may apply. One of the hotel's sustainability initiatives is having facilities that make it easier for guests traveling with babies to stay.
Dining
Breakfast and dinner are served at Washokudokoro Madoi on the first floor. Breakfast runs from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., and dinner from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., with last orders at 8 p.m. If you have dinner at the in-house restaurant, showing your room key gives you a 10% discount on food and drinks, though the guest-only Japanese Set Meal and Western Set Meal are excluded from the discount.
Access
The hotel is a 3-minute walk from the East Exit of Kawagoe Station, served by JR and the Tobu Tojo Line, and about 10 minutes by car from the Kawagoe Interchange on the Kan-Etsu Expressway. Parking on the hotel grounds has about 50 spaces on a first-come, first-served basis at 1,000 yen per night, and large buses can be parked as well. There is a Lawson convenience store a 3- to 4-minute walk away, in the direction of the station from the main entrance. The front desk is staffed 24 hours, so women, students sitting entrance exams and older guests can all stay with peace of mind.
